“An early season test on the road for us, a fantastic opportunity to play against an organized team who has has a few games under the belt. It certainly wont be easy for us to get a result down there, but more importantly it will give us another quality 90 minutes playing together, working out some things on the field as we prepare for the league opener on May 14th.” Says coach John Galas.
